Kristen: Well, it isn't my fiancée [laugh] I love the
sound of that word. Hi fiancée.

Brady: Hi, fiancée.

Kristen: Mm.

Brady: I'm sorry the conference call took so long. It was
for--

Kristen: That's okay. I promise I'm not gonna be that wife
that waits up by the door, you know, with a frying pan, all bitter.

Brady: Yeah. Have you, uh, have you told your dad yet?

Kristen: Mm-mm, I couldn't. He's in Chicago. So I guess
I'm going to have to hold off on hiring that sky writer.

Brady: I hope he takes the news better than my dad did.

Kristen: Oh. You're grumpy.

Brady: No. No, I'm just tired.

Kristen: Well, we have the whole house to ourselves. You
want to pick up where we left off, if you get my drift?

Brady: No, I get your drift, but, um, I gotta go back out.

Kristen: What?

Brady: There's someone I have to tell about this, and I
want to do it face to face.

Kristen: Yeah, but tonight? You've got to do this tonight?

Brady: It can't wait.

Sami: Are we really actually about to do this? We're doing
it, aren't we? We are going to move in together in your father's house.

EJ: Look, I know it's not the most romantic new beginning
we could've come up with, but--

Sami: Are you kidding me? You are willing to deal with
your father to help me, so that we can have Stefano there when we need to get
will out of this situation with Nick. And to me, that, EJ DiMera, is incredibly
romantic. But if your sister gets in my face, I'm going to deck her.

EJ: [Laughs]

[Door slams]

Sonny: Sorry, we're-- what the hell do you want?

Nick: Where the hell is Will?

Gabi: Are you really okay with giving up your little girl?
Will, please. Tell me, because I need to hear it from you.

Sonny: Wasting your time, Fallon. I don't have to tell you
a damned thing.

Nick: [Exhales]

Gabi: I'm sorry. Hey, I didn't want things to be like
this.

Will: Me either.

Gabi: But we can work things out, right? I mean, we're
friends. We're always going to be friends. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't
even be having this little girl, so we're together. We're connected.

Will: Yeah, yeah.

Gabi: For life, right?

Will: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have even said
anything. It hurts, but I know I did the right thing, and, um, and plus my mom
would've never left you alone. I mean, she was possessed or something.

Gabi: Yeah, she was very scary. [Sighs]

Will: [Exhales sharply] Do you remember when, uh... [Sighs] You, Nick, and I were the only ones who knew?
Yeah, if only Chad had kept his big mouth shut.

Gabi: Yeah, but he didn't. And everybody knows. And now
you signed that paper, and I don't know what people are going to say when they
find out.

Will: Uh, I will deal with that when I come to it, I
guess. I can't think about it right now.

Kristen: Hey, baby. I gave Harold the night off so that
you and I could-- oh.

Sami: Let me guess. You were cleaning the bathrooms.

Kristen: [Laughs] Hi, Sami.

Brady: I have some news. I already told my dad, which
means the world is gonna know pretty soon. But I wanted to tell you personally.

Eric: Mm. You've seen Kristen for who she really is, and
you dumped her?

Brady: Not exactly, Eric. Uh... I asked her to marry me.

Eric: You know, I was wrong about you. You're not a
complete jerk. You're a moron.

Will: What do you think you know?

Gabi: That Nick made some kind of deal with you because--
because he knows something about your family that could hurt them if it got out.

Will: Did he tell you what it is?

Gabi: No. But I know he used it to convince you to sign
those papers.

Will: He used it to convince me? Is that--is that the word
that he used?

Gabi: Okay, look, let's not-- I don't want to start on
Nick, okay? He's just trying to protect me and the baby.

Will: I'm--I'm sorry. Do you--do you really think
that--that you and the baby-- [Sighs] Do you think that the both of you need to be
protected from me?

Nick: I know you don't like me. But you need to tell me
where Will is.

Sonny: And if I don't? What are you gonna do about it?
Hmm? Gonna dig up some dirt from my past, use it to force me to sign some legal
agreement that states I have to inform you where Will is?

Nick: I needed to protect Gabi from Sami.

Sonny: That's bull. You needed to protect Will's daughter
from the gay boys, right? 'Cause you can't stomach the idea of the two of us
having anything to do with that child.

Nick: You know, for once, you actually got it dead right.

[Door opens]

Chloe: Where's Parker?

Nancy: I just put him down. What's wrong?

Chloe: I went to the cabin.

Nancy: And things didn't work out the way you planned.
Surprise, surprise.

Chloe: I saw them. They were making love.

Nancy: Oh, Chloe, you watched them making love? Oh, honey,
you should not--

Chloe: Please don't yell at me, okay? It's over.

Nancy: What do you mean?

Chloe: It's all over. I've lost Daniel. For good.

Chloe: Daniel loves Jennifer. And she knows it now. When I
looked in that window, I wanted to die.

Nancy: Don't die. Think.

Chloe: [Sniffles]

Nancy: And I'll help. And this time, I'm going to come up
with a strategy.

Chloe: Nothing is going to work.

Nancy: Chloe... you're beautiful. Look at me. You're
talented. And you are way sexier than that Jennifer Horton ever thought of
being.

Chloe: [Scoffs]

Nancy: Okay, she's blonde, she's thin, sort of rich. But
you have something that she will never have.

Chloe: What do I have?

Nancy: You... have Parker.

Chloe: [Laughs, sniffles]

Nancy: Jennifer will never give Daniel a kid.

Chloe: [Sobs]

Nancy: You just have to think about her as, like, just a
little blip on the radar screen. Okay? Turbulence that you've gotta ride out. [Sighs]

Chloe: [Sighs]

Nancy: And, uh, you've got to think about your long-term
goals.

Chloe: Mom, you don't know Daniel the way that I do.

Nancy: Right. He's a man. That's all I need to know.

Chloe: No, there's a lot more.

Nancy: Maybe. But I know that he's a man, and he can't
keep it in his pants.

Chloe: [Sighs] Mom, that's gross, and it's not true.

Nancy: Right.

Chloe: Look, I know him better than you do. I know him
better than anybody. I remember what it was like when he fell in love with me. I
had his whole heart and soul, and I threw it away. He would've never cheated on
me or left me. And he won't do that to Jennifer either, not in a million years.

Jennifer: I can hear your heart beat.

Daniel: [Laughs] Bet you can. It's pretty happy at the
moment.

Jennifer: It sounds happy.

Daniel: It is.

Jennifer: Mm, this is the happiest that I have been in a
really long time.

Daniel: Yeah, me too.

Jennifer: And we made it. We're here. We're together.

Daniel: Yeah. And I'm never letting go of you again.

Jennifer: Okay.

Daniel: Okay.

Jennifer: [Giggles]

Daniel: Never. Ah.

Brady: Well, I'm glad you don't judge.

Eric: Morons are very dear to God.

Brady: [Snickers] I suppose this means you won't be
marrying us, right?

Eric: Yes, yes, you did, and I'm glad. I know how strongly
you feel about Kristen, and if-- you wouldn't have proposed if it's not what you
wanted.

Brady: That is--that is right.

Eric: I hope you'll be happy. No matter how I feel about
Kristen, I'll always want the best for you.

Brady: Thanks.

Eric: What is on your mind?

Brady: Nothing. Nothing. That's not true. There is, uh--
there is something, and if I talk about it with you, do you promise you're not
gonna make a smart remark about it?

Eric: No.

Brady: I'm scared.

Kristen: Want something to eat?

Sami: Oh, no, thanks.

Kristen: Want a drink?

EJ: No, I think--uh, we just came to see father.

Kristen: Oh-oh. He's not here.

EJ: Um... good. Actually, I'm glad to hear you don't run
around the house dressed like that when he is home.

Kristen: Of course not. No, he's in Chicago at a meeting.
Want me to give him a message?

EJ: No. It's fine, actually. We'll be here when he gets
back because Samantha... and myself and the children, we are all moving in.

Kristen: Are you really? Oh. [Giggles]

Sami: Yeah.

Kristen: That's wonderful.

Sami: It--it is. We're very excited.

Kristen: Aw. Good of you to do that.

Sami: Oh, thanks. [Chuckles awkwardly]

Kristen: So Chad’s thinking about moving back in, and you
and the kids are moving in.

EJ: Yeah.

Kristen: Father's going to be so pleased. Just wait till
Brady finds out. He's going to be ecstatic.

Sami: Excuse me, what-- what is that?

Gabi: I know that the baby and I don't have to be
protected from you, Will. It's your mom.

Will: I'm the one who's going to suffer, though. My name's
not going to be on the birth certificate. I'm not going to be able to see my
baby.

Gabi: Who said you can't see your baby?

Will: Why do you think that Nick did this?

Gabi: Will, you are the one that started. You asked me for
a paternity test.

Will: Okay, I did that because--

Gabi: Because it was what your mom and EJ wanted. Okay,
look, I never, ever told you that you weren't the father of this baby, so why
should I need a paternity test, unless your mom and EJ wanted to sue for custody
of the baby?

Will: I would never do that, and I thought you knew that
about me.

Gabi: Well, I never thought that you would ever ask me for
a paternity test. Obviously, your mom pushed you into that. So how do Nick and I
know that she's not going to push you into suing for custody of the baby?

Will: So what you think is, I'm such a pushover that I
would let--just let that happen.

Gabi: Will, your-- your mom has a way of getting people to
do things, okay? You know that. But now she can’t. Will... I would never, ever
stop you from--from seeing your daughter or from being in her life.

Will: Well, better work that out with Nick.

Sonny: Everyone's said that you used to be such a decent
guy. Nice, understanding, open-minded. What the hell happened to you?

Nick: That decent guy was weak. He got hooked on pain
pills. And he ended up killing someone.

Sonny: So this... is you being strong? Hating Will and me
because we love each other? Blackmailing your own cousin to keep him away from
his child?

Nick: I'm taking care of Gabi, and that's why I've got to
find her, and I swear to God, if Will--

Sonny: If Will what? If will what? Hey! You're not gonna
hurt him again. Listen to me!

Nick: Get your hands off me, faggot. You f--

Both: [Grunting]

Nick: I know what you're trying to do!

Sonny: Beat the crap out of a bigot?

Nick: You're trying to report me and get my--my parole
revoked.

Sonny: You think the whole world's out to get you. Is that
how you think?

Nick: You don't know what I've been through.

Sonny: You need to get some help. You need to talk to a
priest or a shrink so they can tell you how messed up you are.

Nick: I don't need to talk to anyone. I love Gabi. And
that's all I need.

Brady: I've been engaged twice to women that I have loved.
And both of those women are dead. Every woman that seems to care about me ends
up paying a pretty awful price.

Eric: Brady, no. What--what happened to those women was a
horrible coincidence, not a plan. God doesn't work that way.

Brady: Yeah, you know what? I keep telling myself that.
But now that Kristen and I are getting married, I'm having a lot of anxiety
about this. And I don't want to lose her. I can’t.

Kristen: Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to just spring
this on you. I--silly me. I just kind of assumed that Brady told you, you know.
But yes. We are getting married. Isn't that wonderful?

Sami: [Clears throat] Yes, wow.

Kristen: Cheers, cheers.

Sami: So Brady asked you to marry him. Huh.

Kristen: Well, I certainly didn't ask him, Sami. [Laughs] I mean, I am a feminist and all that, but I'm a
little old-fashioned when it comes to marriage proposals, I guess.

Sami: Sure. Of course.

EJ: Ah, very good. So he's not just moving in. He's going
to be my brother-in-law.

Kristen: Yep. Yeah. And now, with you and Sami and the
kids moving in, life is just getting better and better and better, huh? Once we
do get married, I'm going to have a sister again. Oh, yay.

Sami: [Chuckles]

EJ: [Chuckles]

Chloe: You're being unfair to Daniel. He was always
faithful to the women in his life, starting with his first love, Rebecca.

Nancy: Chloe, he fathered a daughter that he didn't even
know about, and he broke up your marriage. To me, that's a player.

Chloe: Mom, he would have loved to take responsibility for
Melanie. And he did not break up my marriage. I was the one who was unfaithful
to Lucas. You know that.

Nancy: Okay, let me ask you this. How come you were able
to let Vivian Alamain convince you... that Daniel and Carly were sleeping
together, if he is so loyal and true in your mind?

Chloe: Because. I'm-- I'm still that same insecure, geeky
girl from high school on the inside. And I just couldn't believe that someone
like Daniel could totally be in love with someone like me. But he was.

Nancy: Chloe, this is not beauty and the beast.

Chloe: Would you stop it with the lame jokes?

Nancy: Honey, I am just trying to give you a reality check
here. Okay, what about Daniel and Nicole? What about that?

Chloe: They--they were just having fun together. And then
Nicole fell in love, and as soon as Daniel realized that, he broke it off
because he didn't want to use Nicole, and he knew that he only loved Jennifer.
And I saw that tonight. He loves Jenifer the same way he loved Rebecca. And the
only way that he'll ever leave her is if she asks him to.

Gabi: Nick's not going to have a problem with you seeing
the baby.

Will: Did he say that?

Gabi: No, but I know him, Will.

Will: No, you don’t. You don't know him, and you've
married the guy you don't even know.

Gabi: Okay, so what is it that I don't know? Tell me.

Will: Well--

Nick: [Panting] Gabi. I've been looking everywhere for
you.

Nick: Will. What's going on?

Will: Well--

Gabi: Will thinks that you want to keep him totally out of
the baby's life.

Nick: What? No, no, no, no, no. I never said anything like
that. I think it should be up to you to decide Will's place in her life. Of
course.

Gabi: You see? Everything's going to be fine.

Nick: Babe, you look--you look pretty tired.

Gabi: I'm okay.

Nick: No, I don't--I don't want to take any chances. I
think I should take you home. Come on. Babe, come on.

Will: [Exhales sharply] [Laughs]

Jennifer: Oh, my. All I gave you was a ham sandwich.
Daniel.

Daniel: Well, I had it in my coat pocket for weeks. I was
going to give it to you both times that we went away. Come on.

Jennifer: What?

Daniel: Yes.

Jennifer: Oh, my goodness. Okay, should I open it?

Daniel: Oh, please. Open, open, open it.

Jennifer: Okay, okay. [Gasps] Oh, my gosh.

Daniel: Do you like it? Do you--

Jennifer: Daniel! Do I like this? Oh, my goodness, it's--
this is so beautiful. This is my birthstone.

Daniel: Yeah, I know. I know.

Jennifer: Oh, my goodness. Daniel.

Daniel: Let me put it on.

Jennifer: Wow, this is so pretty.

Daniel: Right?

Jennifer: Yes.

Daniel: Let's see what it looks like on you.

Jennifer: Okay.

Daniel: Let's see.

Jennifer: How's that?

Daniel: It's perfect. I knew it as soon as I saw it at the
jewelry store. It's perfect.

Daniel: Yeah, well, the jeweler told me everything the
designer makes is one of a kind. Just like you. [Sighs] I am so happy I had just the right moment to give
it to you.

Jennifer: Me too.

Daniel: Because this night is a whole new beginning.

Chloe: When I found out that Parker was Daniel’s son, I
was so happy. It's like a miracle had happened. I thought I was finally going to
get the life that I should have been living this whole time, in this apartment,
with the love of my life and our child. It's all I ever wanted. And I can't have
that with anyone else. Mom... what am I going to do?

Brady: Thanks for being understanding. And thanks for
listening to me. I know you're not a fan of this marriage.

Eric: Given what Kristen did to my mom, do you think
that's unreasonable?

Brady: Eric, she had a meltdown. I mean, she--she went off
the rails, and it was a long time ago. I mean, aren't you supposed to be touting
forgiveness anyway? I mean, it's almost holy week.

Eric: I've forgiven Kristen. I want her to have a long and
happy life.

Brady: You just don't want her to have a long and happy
life with me.

Eric: There's too much history there.

Brady: [Sighs] Well, thanks for being upfront about your
feelings. I appreciate that. My--my own father-- he looked me dead in the eye
and lied to me about everything.

Eric: About what?

Brady: About being able to accept Kristen in my life. It
wasn't truthful. He just wanted to get something incriminating on her.

Eric: Are you sure?

Brady: Oh, I heard him say it to your mom.

Eric: Whoa, they're talking?

Brady: Eric, Kristen-- Kristen is the only subject that
they truly agree on. They'll do anything to get something on her. Your mom broke
into Kristen’s hotel room and went through her private journal. She even wore a
wire at one point to get her to say something that she could use against her.
They keep trying these things, Eric, and they-- they never give up.

Eric: If you marry Kristen, you'll probably have to live
with that.

Brady: Why--why is that? Why? Can't they understand that
maybe she changed? Is that so impossible? I mean, look at your life. You know
better than anybody that it's possible to change, right?

Sami: [Clears throat]

EJ: Uh, but yeah, no, we should probably get going. Um--

Sami: Yes, yeah.

EJ: Yeah, we, uh-- we'll be back here tomorrow morning
before father returns, and we can, uh--

Kristen: Okay.

EJ: We can surprise him.

Kristen: I'm sure he's gonna be just as happy as he was
when he found out that Brady was moving in, you know, and I know he's going to
be pleased to know that his children are so happy, right, "Eej"?

Sami: Um, listen, I have to, uh, start getting the kids
ready and everything for the move, so, um--

EJ: Darling, would you mind just going and opening the car
up for me please, and just, uh, I'll be there in a second.

Sami: Of course.

EJ: Thank you.

Sami: Congratulations.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

EJ: Well. That situation certainly changed very quickly.

Kristen: [Laughs] You're telling me.

EJ: Let me ask you something. Now that you have what you
wanted, are you sure you still want it?

Kristen: I am as sure of this as anything I've ever done.

EJ: Okay, then I hope you'll be very happy.

Kristen: I think you might actually mean that.

EJ: I do.

Kristen: Good.

EJ: Look, I'm very sorry if the conversation we had
earlier offended you or if I pushed you too hard.

Kristen: Oh, please. You and I and Sami and Brady are all
going to be living under the same roof as Stefano. Better hope to God that I
have a thick enough skin not to be offended when you tell me what you think.

EJ: [Sighs] It is going to be a very interesting domestic
situation, isn't it?

Kristen: Yeah, it's kind of like the first chapter of an
Agatha Christie novel, isn't it? So many suspects.

EJ: Right, we're just waiting to see what crime happens
first.

Kristen: Except it's the DiMera mansion. There can't be
just one, EJ.

EJ: [Laughs]

Eric: Of course I believe people can change, especially
when you love someone as much as you obviously love Kristen.

Brady: I've changed too since I've met her, Eric. When she
first came back into town, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I'd
just lost my fiancée, Madison. I had--I had lost hope. I didn't think I was
going to love again. I didn't think I was going to be happy again. Listen, I-- I
understand that it's hard for you, given the history that Marlena has with
Kristen, but I was hoping... that you could put that aside and just focus on how
happy she makes me.

Eric: I'll work on that.

Brady: It means a lot.

Eric: I'm sorry, um, can I get you some coffee?

Brady: No, no, no, I gotta-- I gotta run. I gotta go.

Eric: Right. Well, thanks for coming by.

Brady: About that coffee, um... how about a rain check?

Eric: Definitely.

[Door opens]

Nick: Babe... you didn't say anything the whole way back.
I thought maybe you'd be excited about moving in with Aunt Maggie and--and
Victor. You know? Living in a mansion.

Gabi: Yeah, it's just, um, it's something that Will said.
He said that I don't, uh, I don't know you. Do I?
